Vontaze DeLeon Burfict Jr is a former American football linebacker. He played college football at Arizona State. Considered the most highly ranked football prospect Arizona State ever signed to a letter of intent, Burfict was recognized as an All-American in 2010 and projected an early first round pick for the 2012 NFL Draft. However, a mediocre on-field performance and poor pre-draft workouts diminished his draft stock, resulting in him not being selected. He was subsequently signed as an undrafted free agent by the Cincinnati Bengals, where he played for seven seasons.
